Central Region: Seedling ID Guide for Native Prairie Plants

Central Region: Seedling ID Guide for Native Prairie Plants, published by NRCS, is

available online here and is also available in print. Finding a copy in print can be

challenging and fairly expensive.

Each spring, Mother Nature gives us a wealth of seedlings in our native

planting areas. Some of these seedlings are the natives we strive to nurture, but

some are introduced species that will take resources that our native plants need.

This document is a great resource for identifying native plant seedlings. The text

information helps, and the photographs are effective in assisting identification.
